Why it matters

Bandai Spirits is selling the game and the hobby knife in the same purchase, since the unpainted miniatures make painting part of play rather than a side project.

The lineup is STARTER SET 01 [ST01] at 3,850 yen, two Expansion Packs with additional units, and PAINT PACK 01 [PA01]. The miniature Gunpla come unpainted, so players can paint their own units.

The four launch products arrive on the same day as the rules that bind them. Bandai Spirits has built the mobile suit stats around what each machine does in its own story, and the game supports both scenarios that follow the original narratives and crossover situations that put machines from different worlds on one table.

That second mode is where the 5cm scale does its work: a player can field Char's Zaku, Wing Zero EW and other mobile suits against each other without the shelf space a larger collection would demand. The Painting Pack sits in the lineup because the miniatures ship bare plastic.
